eBay Fapo Angle kit install on the E46 drift build

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome to the best budget drift build. The vehicle is a 323i BMW E46 with and M52 engine.
In this video I fit an angle kit, complete with extended arms, castor and Ackerman adjustment.
Chapters:
0:00 introduction
1:30 Removal
5:30 Installation
It was surprisingly easy fitment with surprising results. It may be close to a "Fapo" kit from what I've looked at online, however the same principles should apply to most kits in the market as far as fitting goes.

    That angle is insane! Nicely done. Also you taking off the bumper gave you so much more space to work on the car. I'll have to start doing that more~

    Thanks SolarFluxx. It’s only 2 bolts to take off the front bar now. Easy for alignments also. Yes great angle and doesn’t rub on the chassis either. 0 offset wheels definitely helps with that also.

    Well done mate, great to watch. I've had the same kit sitting in my ebay cart for a while now. Might have to pull the trigger. I bought one of the DS works rear braces based off your other video too, but went for a 6-point seat compatible one.

    I think I’ve watched all your videos now. I have this very car and planned to do everything you did before finding your vids and it’s been super helpful. A few questions, did you buy headlamp turning signal covers or did you paint them? You tried to paint the headlamp initially lol 😅 Can you give me the link to purchase the front bumper, angle kit and heim joints

    Hi Dante, I did tint the turn signals with a paint but I wouldn’t recommend, it’s not very nice. The front bumper was a used M Tech II bumper I purchased from a local auto recyclers. It’s in the makeover episode 17. The angle kits are sold out from the store I purchased them from but they’re the same as the Fapo kit I think. I sourced the Heim joints from a local speedway supplies shop but you can get them online. Just need to make sure one is LH threaded, and one is RH threaded. Hope this was helpful.

    It's probably one of the best upgrades I've put on the car. Ive spun off the track into grass, dirt and over ripple strips and no issues. Low price and good quality don't usually go together. If you want top quality I would spend the $. They seem perfect quality for me because I'm doing a budget build. They sell replacement parts also. If you break a Heim joint they will just sell you the part. There's videos of me drifting with them. I may review them next year after I've had more hours on them.

    Short answer Yes, but it’s not really what it’s for, this is a cheaper kit that’s good for drifting and that’s about it there is a good chance after a lot of hard driving it may snap and you have to buy a completely new kit cause they don’t sell spare parts for these cheaper kits, you’d be better off buying nice adjustable coil overs and maybe some steering adjusters for more angle

    Front 3mm toe out, 6 deg caster, all the camber, 45psi Rear 3mm toe in, 0 camber, 25-35psi I think I cover it on episode 19 but toe and tyre pressures sometimes change depending on the track.
